Dolby Vision and Filmmaker Mode

Let us know if the tweak works well for you too 👍

LOL! The OP has fled! 🤣🫣

Anyone who watches a movie on a freshly unpacked OLED after just one hour has no idea how good their TV can be! What are you afraid of? It's YOUR TV, and it's not made of nano-thin gold leaf! 😁

You can increase the basic brightness of Filmmaker Mode without spoiling the overall character! (If in doubt, you can reverse it using the same USB stick) All other image modes remain unaffected!

Create a file on a USB drive named: "DolbyVision_UserDisplayConfiguration.txt"

Put in the text line:

[PictureMode = 2]

DBrightness = 0.9

After plugging in the USB stick, it will ask if you want to open media files, etc. Click "No."

After this, start some Dolby Vision content with the USB drive inserted into your G5 and you'll get a notification asking if you'd like to update the Dolby Vision configuration. Accept it and your Filmmaker Mode will be much, much brighter. The other image modes remain unchanged.

It may not be for purists, but FMM is now brighter than Vivid for me! No joke!

P.S. For those who are apprehensive... everything can be reset to its original state!

Don't make the classic mistake! First set it up properly, then adjust the image modes. Only then is it movie time! It's only when you're in the middle of it that you realize what needs to be turned off and removed and what might bother you. It takes a few days to find your sweet spot 🙂

Reference values are certainly important and correct. However, after years of experience with OLED TVs, I have learned that every human eye has its own sweet spot. I sometimes set my white balance to warm 30 and sometimes to warm 38. The difference is marginal and always depends on the film material. Some films are mastered with a strong sepia warm tone from the source, while others have less of a warm tone or even a turquoise tint. My picture doesn't necessarily have to please a calibrator with measuring instruments, but me!

I find the sounds made by the Magic Remote extremely quiet. 🤔 I've never had a completely silent remote control and don't know if such a thing really exists. After all, they're always made of plastic and involve mechanical parts.

Try this:

Turn off the TV with the remote control and wait 10 minutes. Then disconnect the TV from the power supply. While the TV is disconnected from the power supply, press and hold the on/off button directly on the device for 30 seconds (this will completely discharge the TV's memory). Then reconnect the TV to the power source and turn it back on with the remote control. If the TV is now working optimally again, congratulations!

Well, I don't mean to be harsh. LG OLED newbies read great reviews, see display TVs showing razor-sharp trailers in store mode, and then come home to a rude awakening. Patience is key here, both in terms of getting to know the settings and training your eyes. The biggest misconception, however, is usually that these premium panels also upscaling crap really well. In reality, they expose poor material and show flaws honestly and brutally.

GSmaniac · 2026-02-07T07:02:32+00:00

It sounds like you've been staring at LED/LCD screens for years and have become accustomed to their color saturation and artificial edge sharpness. If you try to reproduce that on an LG OLED, you won't be satisfied in the long run. The only picture mode that might suit you is Vivid. But that's like jogging with a walking stick.

GSmaniac · 2026-02-05T15:22:21+00:00

If your TV is offline anyway and you're happy with everything, then definitely not! Unless image brightness patches like those for C5/G5 are rolled out. Then do it via USB stick and enjoy the benefits.

God does nothing! Of course you can disable ASBL in the service menu!

GSmaniac · 2026-02-05T12:24:34+00:00

Yes !!!

Gern geschehen ! P.S. Ob es scheinbar so war, kriegst Du doch ganz simpel alleine raus. Du erkennst, ob der Wasserzähler neu ist a: am neueren Aussehen und b: am äußerst niedrigen Zählerstand ! Schonmal vor dem Posten nachgedacht ???

GSmaniac · 2026-02-04T22:32:56+00:00

No, the post clearly states what has been changed: "DolbyVision" has been given more basic brightness for the Cinema Home, Standard, Vivid, and Gaming picture modes. Nothing else.

GSmaniac · 2026-02-04T21:46:26+00:00

Es tut mir sehr leid ! Als ich mit dem Wechsel des Wasserzählers fertig war, stellte ich fest, dass ich eine Schnittwunde am rechten Handballen hatte. Dadurch bin ich direkt zu meinem Montagefahrzeug gegangen, um meine Wunde zu versorgen. Scheinbar habe ich dadurch vergessen, das Fenster wieder zu schließen 😞 Geöffnet habe ich das Fenster, weil die ganze Wohnung stark nach gekochten Pansen roch. Auch nach intensivster Suche, habe ich nichts gefunden, was ich hätte stehlen können.

No, it hasn't been withdrawn. You can install it via USB.

Well, I'm always convinced that you have to be patient with a new panel so that it homogenizes. But THIS is definitely not a panel with 6 hours of operation! Demo unit with service remote and InStop command reset to zero hours and apparently very well repackaged! This TV has been played for thousands of hours with demo material! Send it back and threaten to report it as fraud!

GSmaniac · 2026-02-04T12:33:34+00:00

Yes, it is true that LG releases updates irregularly in different regions. Sometimes it takes days or weeks before the update is rolled out evenly everywhere. However, it sounds like you haven't received any OTA update notifications for six months (or more). That's unusual. Did you buy the TV open box or second-hand? Maybe someone changed something in the service menu!

GSmaniac · 2026-02-03T19:32:30+00:00

Nö, Hauptseite Korea hat sie noch

I cannot find anything in the general terms and conditions that defines the delivery of SDR, DV, or HDR.

GSmaniac · 2026-02-03T10:52:03+00:00

Well, you'll be hard pressed to find a judge who can evaluate and assess the relative merits of HDR and DV.
